Khabi's correct. The configure error simply states that you have no C compiler on your system. Easy enough to install with any package manager. Be sure to install the development libraries also. And is there a reason that you're compiling Apache? Yes, you can really tweak and optimize it that way, but usually a package (yum, apt, etc.) install, or an install of the LAMP system, will perform just fine.

Take the red pill
